Are long storms common?

[A weatherman]

I've noticed that for a few (possibly even several) OOC days a particular area has been covered in a terrible sandstorm. It's lessened sometimes, but it's always been present. Would this be a common occurence? If not common, how rare? A few times every month? A few times every year? Hardly ever and would be talked about for years to come? Almost never, and would occassion many to wonder what those magickers are doing?

Certain areas are more susceptible to storms than others.  Which ones are which usually makes sense.  If you feel that the area you're in doesn't make sense with respect to the weather there, you should e-mail the mud account.
